Lighthouses and Lifesaving Stations on Cape Ann (Images of America)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The maritime history of Cape Ann, on the northern coast of Massachusetts, is filled with stories of heroism, adventure, and human endeavor. The lighthouses and lifesaving stations surrounding Cape Ann since the late 18th century have served to protect and safeguard the areaâ€™s mariners and major industries. Fishing, shipbuilding, and granite quarrying businesses all flourished under their watchful eyes. They provided artists with spectacular subject matter and attracted tourists from around the world to visit them. This book highlights the heroism and dedication of the lighthouse keepers and lifesaving surfmen who served. Cape Ann is famous for being the home of Americaâ€™s oldest seaport in Gloucester and Americaâ€™s most painted building, Motif No. 1, in Rockport.
